아급성독성시험 : DA-125를 1.0, 0.2, 0.04 mg/kg/day의 용량으로 4주간 정맥내투여시 고용량군에서만 세포분화가 빠른 골수, 비장, 흉선 등의 장기에서 독성이 나타났으며 중간 및 저용량군에서는 독성변화가 나타나지 않았다. 2)항원성시험 : DA-125는 단독 또는 면역보조제(CFA)와의 혼합감작에 의하여 능동전신성 또는 수신피부 아나필라시스를 일으키지 않았으며 면역확산법에 의해서도 항체가 확인되지 않았다. 면역독성시험에서 DA-125는 흉선, 비장의 위축과 임파구중식억제를 나타냈으나 그 정도는 DXR보다 경미하였다. 3)혈완장해시험 : 0.4%의 DA-125 용액은 토끼의 이개정맥내 정맥주사 및 저류시에 혈전형성이나 염증반응 등의 혈관장해를 나타내지 않았으나, 0.2%의 DXR용액은 약한 염증반응을 보였다.

Acute toxicity of the pigment fraction of Heugjinjubyeo was investigated in male and female mice following oral administration. Major component of pigment fraction was analyzed as cyanidin 3-glucoside (C3G), which composition content was 96%. The pigment fraction as given at the single oral doses of 1000,3000 and 9000mg/kg in male and female mice did not show any abnormal behaviours, body weight loss or other toxic symptoms during observation period of 14 days. There were no dead mice among 6 mice at a single dose of 9000mg/kg. Thus, it is concluded that the minimum lethal doses (MLD) of the pigment extract might be more than 9000 mg/kg p.o., in male and female mice.

The present study was carried out to investigate the in vivo single-dose acute toxicity of Leuconostoc citreum GR1 (Leuc. citreum GR1), a lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi, in ICR male and female mice. The test article was orally administered once to both sexes of mice. The mortalities, clinical findings, autopsy findings, and body weight changes were monitored daily for two weeks. The male and female mice were gavaged with Leuc. kimchi GR1 of four doses (625, 1,250. 2,500 and 5,000 mg/kg). The oral $LD_{50}$ of Leuc. citreum GR1 was considered higher than 5,000 mg/kg. No significant changes in the general conditions, body weights, clinical signs and presence of gross lesions were observed in both sexes of mice to whom Leuc. citreum GR1 was administered orally. The results indicated that the 5,000 mg/kg dose of Leuc. citreum GR1 showed no adverse effect.

Isotianil is a fungicide which has prevention effects against rice blast disease. In order to register this new pesticide, the series of toxicity data on animal testing were reviewed to evaluate its hazards to consumers and to determine its acceptable daily intake. Isotianil was almost excreted by urine and feces. It has low acute oral toxicity while has no skin toxicity and ocular irritation. Its skin sensitization was evaluated as slight. Genotoxicity of parent compound and metabolite was negligible. Chronic toxicity tests on rats and dogs showed changes of hematology, clinical biochemistry and liver weight. It had no reproductive and teratogenic effects. The estimation of Acceptable Daily Intake(ADI) is based on the lowest no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL). The lowest NOAEL of 2.83 mg/kg bw/day was found in the twelve-months rats study. The NOAEL was based on increased liver weight and treatment-related effect on clinica chemistry finding at the nest higher dose level of 2.83 mg/kg bw/day. Therefore, it is considered appropriated to apply an uncertainty factor of 100 to the NOAEL 2.83 mg/kg bw/day from the rat study, resulting in an ADI of 0.028 mg/kg bw/day.

Surveying, laboratory and field trial were performed to elucidate the causes of non-spinning syndrome of silkworm, Bombyx mori, abnormal symptoms of silkworm instars observed in certain sericultural fanning region. Mortality and growth of silkworm was still influenced by feeding the mulberry leaves sprayed with 10,000 fold diluted solution of standard spray of diflubenzuron WP (25%). Mortality and growth of silkworm fed with diflubenzuron-sprayed mulberry leaves with recommended spray solution were entirely affected even six weeks after spraying irrespective to the instars. Larval period of 5th instar and cocooning duration of silkworm was not affected in case 50m of buffer zone has maintained in near-by orchard field sprayed with diflubenzuron WP (25%). However, survival rate of pupae was not influenced in case 100 m of buffer zone has kept. Insect growth regulating insecticides were required to keep a certain distance of buffer zone when sprayed with water-diluted solution, 100 m from the application site at least in order to prevent contamination of the spraying drift by the chemicals.

해양의 생물자원 또는 수산생물에게 저해영향을 미치는 오염물질의 농도를 결정하는 수단으로서 현재 전세계적으로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 것은 표준실내 생물검정시험(Standard Laboratory Bioassay)을 들 수 있다. ASTM(American Society for testing and Materials), OECD(Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), USEPA(Unated States Environmental Protection Agency)와 같은 단속기관에서는 연안에 방출되는 오염물질에 대한 허용한계농도를 정하기 위하여 급성 독성 결과를 기준으로 하고 있으며, ASTM과 OECD에서는 생육초기독성 시험을, USEPA에서는 생육초기 독성시험과 만성독성을 채택하고 있다.

Penthiopyrad is a fungicide agent in types of pyrazole which is showing the effect of prevention in fungal disease and powdery mildew. In order to register this new pesticide, reports of acute toxicity and chronic toxicity by animal study were examined to set acceptable daily intake to evaluate hazards of consumers. Acute toxicity was low in toxic, and it did not have the effect of acute dermal toxicity, acute eye irritation, or skin sensitization. As the result of the study in chronic toxicity, the common effect of chemical appeared in the liver and thyroid which was proven as a toxic effect. Two-generation reproduction toxicity, genotoxicity, and prenatal development toxicity were not proven. As the result of carcinogenic study, increase of thyiroid follicular adenoma in the rat and the frequency of liver hepatocellar adenoma in mice were also increased. However, it was decided that the threshold value on the effect in chemicals could be controlled through study liver enzyme induction. Therefore, the ADI for penthiopyrad is 0.081 mg/kg/ bw/day, based on the NOAEL of 8.10 mg/kg bw/day of twelve-months dogs study and applying an uncertainty factor of 100.

This study used an S-180 cell-injected mouse model to evaluate the antitumor effects of the acute and subacute toxicity of Keumsa (Phellinus linteus) extract intravenously administrated in ICR mice. When administered intravenously (31.3-250 mg/kg body weight), Keumsa (Phellinus linteus) extract significantly inhibited the growth of the solid tumor cell. The antitumor activity of Keumsa (Phellinus linteus) extract increased in a dose-dependent manner. The highest dose (250 mg/kg body weight) was highly effective, reducing tumor formation by 42.7% compared with the control group. In the acute toxicity test, $LD_{50}$ of the Keumsa (Phellinus linteus) extract showed 632.84 mg/kg (♂) and 814.48 mg/kg (♀) after intravenous administration. In addition, liver and spleen weight were increased in a dose-dependent manner. In the subacute toxicity test, the mice were intravenously administered over the course of 28 days. The $LD_{50}$ of the Keumsa (Phellinus linteus) extract showed 355.41 mg/kg (♂) and 383.53 mg/kg (♀) after intravenous administration. The liver and spleen weight also increased in a dose-dependent manner. In the case of the group that received more than 125 mg/kg of intravenous administration, exercise capacity, such as jumping ability and agility, were significantly increased. These results suggest that Keumsa (Phellinus linteus) extract can be regarded as a potent enhancer of the innate immune response, and it can be considered as a new natural product with low toxicity that may be used as a candidate for antitumor action.

The subacute toxicity of xylooligosaccharide (XO) was evaluated in SD rats. Groups of 60 male and 60 female rats were orally administered with 0, 333, 1000 or 3000 mg/kg of XO for 13 weeks. The changes of body weight, food and water consumption were investigated for 17 weeks, while heamatological values and histopathological findings were investigated at the end of the 13 weeks and 17 weeks including 4 weeks of recovery periods. No death and toxic effects were observed during the test periods. There were statistically significant changes in several parameters, but these change had no direct relationship to dosage. Clinical changes were general occurrence and no specific toxicity was related to XO. Gross necropsy and histopathology revealed that no target organs were found in the treated mouse with XO. According to the results, no-observed effect level of XO is estimated to be above 3000 mg/kg.
